Mr. X Blind Items Revealed – Old Hollywood

15) Old Hollywood: Which A++ list actress and one of the all-time great beauties of Hollywood ran to the bathroom shortly before winning her Best Actress Oscar and threw up what little she ate of her meal?

I could be wrong, but I think it has been established that Audrey's relationship with food was shaped by her experiences growing up in war torn Europe and that never ate much because of the trauma, not due to some unhealthy desire to be thin.

I agree with this, my grandmother is in her 90s and she has always eaten very little. I've been helping her out around her house for a week and I can't think of a single full meal she's eaten, except for brunch this weekend. Otherwise she just eats spinach salad and either mango or yam. She's not anorexic by any means, just grew up before the days of 60oz sodas and 1/2 pound burgers.

Audrey Hepburn almost starved to death while growing up in Holland during the war. She and her mother, along with everyone else, had to eat grass, flower bubs and raw potatoes to survive. She wasn't skinny because she was obsessed with her weight, her stomach was messed up and she had trouble absorbing food. I think this BI is unfair. She was not like these silly actresses these days. She had a REASON for being underweight.

Ya, Audrey's a tragic figure. So bright on the outside, so much turmoil inside. Growing up under Nazi occupation, vicious ballet training, and abusive men in her early early adulthood took their toll. A truly beautiful soul tho, one of the few "good ones" who have been in show-biz.

I don't know why people find it so hard to believe that she had an eating disorder. A woman with well-known food issues who had a very stressful childhood and was–hellooo–a ballet dancer and an actress who had to deal with abusive men in Old Hollywood when women were all treated like sexual trading cards.
